  • METHOD FOR LASER HARDENING OF A CARD WIRE
    Publication number: 20240102120
    Abstract: A method for laser beam hardening of sections to be hardened (A) of a card wire (10) is disclosed. Thereby the card wire (10) is moved in a conveying direction through a working space (26). In the working space (26), an inert gas atmosphere is created by continuously or discontinuously introducing inert gas (G). In the working space (26), a laser beam area (27) is generated through which the sections to be hardened (A) of the card wire (10) are moved. Thereby the sections to be hardened (A) are heated. After exiting out of the laser beam area (27) the sections to be hardened (A) cool and are hardened by progressing through this temperature profile. The hardening in the inert gas atmosphere inside working space (26) avoids formation of oxide layers (scaling) and annealing colors.

  • Latch needle with improved latch bearing
    Patent number: 8561435
    Abstract: A latch needle includes a pivot pin connected with the latch in a torque-proof manner, said pivot pin having mirror-symmetrically shaped bearing heads (29, 30) on both sides of the latch shank (20). The bearing heads (29, 30) are produced by plastic deformation (i.e., axial upsetting of a pin (27)) and have a cylindrical exterior shape.

  • Jacquard heald with embossed thread eye region
    Patent number: 7963301
    Abstract: A heald body fabricated of a round wire and having a round shank with a flattened intermediate or center section (9) that is provided with a widened opening (16) delimited by two legs (14, 15). The area (A1) of the round cross section of the shank (20) substantially corresponds to the sum of the cross sectional areas (A5, A6) of the two legs (14, 15) of the intermediate section, whereby the heald body has a substantially constant cross-sectional area along its length.

  • Jacquard Heald with Embossed Thread Eye Region
    Publication number: 20100084040
    Abstract: A heald in accordance with the invention is preferably fabricated of a round wire, said wire having a center section (9). This section has an octagonal cross-section that is defined by two legs that are connected to each other by a thin strip. In so doing, the heald body (2) may be split to accommodate a thread eye insert (6). The thread eye insert (6) is preferably secured with the use of an adhesive in the resultant opening (16).
